Manchester United's £50m target wants Bayern stay - Guardiola

Manchester United's hopes of signing Toni Kroos appear to have been dented, with Pep Guardiola insisting that the player wants to stay with Bayern Munich.

24-year-old playmaker Kroos, who joined the Bundesliga giants back in 2006, proved his quality on Wednesday night with a quite superb performance that helped Bayern to beat Arsenal 2-0 during the first leg of their Champions League last 16 tie at the Emirates Stadium.

Manchester United, who signed another midfielder in the form of former Chelsea star Juan Mata for £37.1 million during the recent January transfer window, are expected to heavily invest in an attempt to improve their ailing squad during the summer.

Kroos, who has been involved in somewhat of a contract stand-off with Bayern Munich as he reportedly seeks to improve his earnings, is a very talented player and would certainly provide an upgrade on the likes of Nani, Antonio Valencia and Ashley Young at Old Trafford.

However, it looks as if Manchester United might be forced to look elsewhere with Guardiola seemingly certain that Kroos wants to remain with Bayern.
